Welcome to our Spring 2025 DSAN5200 group project.
This project investigates the legacy of Indigenous dispossession and the current progress of repatriation under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). Through temporal, geospatial, and institutional analysis, we explore how the return of Native American ancestral remains reflects deeper tensions between law, history, and justice.
With thoughtful data storytelling and visual design, we aim to honor the human lives behind the data—bringing clarity, accountability, and empathy to a story still unfolding.
